1 SAMSUNG MOBILE COMPUTER LIMITED WARRANTY LIMITED WARRANTY COVERAGE This Samsung branded Mobile Computer product, as supplied and distributed by Samsung Electronics America, Inc. ("Samsung") and delivered new, in the original carton to the original end-user purchaser ("you" or "purchaser"), is warranted by Samsung against manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. Please note that some states do not allow time limitations on implied warranties. This limited warranty begins on the original date of purchase and continues through the Limited Warranty Period and is valid only on Samsung products purchased from Samsung or a Samsung authorized reseller and used in the fifty (50) United States and the District of Columbia (unless you enter into a separate written agreement with Samsung). Since no end-user purchase takes place, this limited warranty does not apply to a party who rents or leases a Samsung brand product, and such a party must contact its rental or leasing company to determine whether warranty coverage is applicable. If the product is found to be defective as a result of manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship during the Limited Warranty Period, Samsung will, at its sole option, (1) repair or replace the product, at no charge as stipulated herein, with new or reconditioned parts or a functionally equivalent product, (2) for user-installable parts, require you to repair the product with new or reconditioned parts provided at no charge, or (3) provide a refund of the purchase price of the product, LESS THE PRODUCT S DEPRECIATED VALUE, only if Samsung is unable to replace the product or repair it in accordance with applicable law. All replaced parts and products, and products for which a refund is provided, become the property of Samsung and must be returned to Samsung free of any third-party ownership claims within thirty (30) days after you receive the replacement parts or products (or refund, if applicable). Samsung may require your credit card information prior to providing replacement parts or products (or refund, if applicable) and will charge you for the replacement parts or products (or product for which a refund is provided) if you fail to return them within such time. Replacement parts and products will be new or serviceably used, comparable in function and performance to the original parts, and warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period or, if longer, ninety (90) days after they are shipped to you.

2 OBTAINING WARRANTY SERVICE To receive warranty service, you must (1) first follow the procedures outlined below, in the product manual and in online help resources, and (2) if these procedures do not resolve the problem, contact Samsung at the number provided below for problem determination and service procedures. Warranty service can only be performed by a Samsung authorized service center, except that such a center need not be used for the installation of replacement parts at your expense in the event that a warranty labor coverage period has expired but a warranty parts coverage period remains in effect. Samsung will not reimburse for any service performed by others. The original dated bill of sale, or a substitute proof of purchase acceptable at Samsung s sole option in accordance with applicable law, must be presented upon request as proof of purchase to Samsung or Samsung s authorized service center. If limited warranty service is required, Samsung will issue an authorization number. Samsung will not accept returns without this authorization number. If return of the product is required, you must ship the product to the specified Samsung authorized service center in its original or equivalent packaging. Samsung will ship the repaired or replaced product to you if the address is located in the United States. You are responsible for backing-up all system and applications software and data and disabling any security passwords before services are performed, removing any data before parts or products are returned, and for reinstalling all software, data and passwords.
